Out with a Bang.

The weather is betraying me, but the calendar says Summer is winding to a close. Bittersweet! I'm a bit exhausted when it comes to dressing for unbearably warm days. Wildfox Couture did it again and came out with a new swim collection and accompanying campaign that just might inspire me enough to get through these last few hot weeks. Time to channel my inner Bond girl...

It's a fact, I shamelessly live in denim cut offs all summer. These days I've been looking for a new go to look and I think I've found it. 

 Breezy sundresses, luxe flats, and flowers for days. Plus a Pamela Love cuff to toughen it up a bit.  

What do you live in all summer long??

Summerville.

Sometimes things are described better in pictures, rather than words. For me, Summer is definitely one of those things. 

Here's how I plan to live (and dress) in Summer 2012:

Instagreat.

As a loyal iPhone owner I am, by obligation, also an Instagram addict. As a blogger, it makes absolute sense to document my life in pictures and the filters are just a plus. Take a look at some of my recent snaps...

If you have Instagram check me out at taryn_brooke! I love checking out other people's photos so leave your username in the comments and I'll take a look. :) 

Back in the Habit.

I'm back using my tumblr.

I definitely forgot how addicting it could be...that's for sure.

It's my favorite way to collect amazing photography and keep little notes of things that are on my mind. 

If you have a tumblr, leave the link in a comment and I'll check it out! :) 

Here are some of my favorite photos from the past week

Style Crush 13 // Amber Heard

The Playboy Club may have been one of the shortest running new shows of the season, but it was long enough to remind me how gorgeous Amber Heard. Not only a pretty face, but she also embraces Old Hollywood glamour with open arms, making her one of my favorite actresses to watch when it comes time for a red carpet. Far too many starlets these days go for the too tight/too shiny combo, so it's refreshing to see someone embrace a much more classic approach to dressing up. She can also rock both blonde and brunette which is not an easy feat in itself!

Does anyone else think she looks reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson when her hair is up?

Pins

So, this past week I was introduced to the glory that is Pinterest. 

If you are a member you know what I mean...If you aren't you are seriously missing out!! It is basically the most addicting way to come across inspiration, whether it be style, DIY projects, home decor, recipes, or just a good laugh. 

Here are a few of my latest pins from my "What I LOVE" board, basically a compilation of my favorite style inspiration.

If you would like an invite and don't feel like waiting after applying, leave your email in the comments and I will send you one! :) 

It's Monday.

A lot of people are starting school this week so I thought an extra dose of inspiration might brighten your day.

Leave my questions for my Q + A post pretty please!
